Together for just over two years, Edelweiss released its debut EP, "Pre-Columbians," independently in September 2011. The band has played at New York City venues such as Knitting Factory, Highline Ballroom and Mercury Lounge, and performed at the Mayfair Festival of the Arts in Allentown.

Edelweiss draws influence from acts such as Bloc Party, Duran Duran and Yourself and the Air, among others.
